Hello lovelies! 💖
It's Emma here, and guess what?! Rochester is calling, and I'm so excited! My trusty steed, the East Coast Main Line, is ready to whisk me off to this charming English city, which I'm hearing whispers of is just brimming with history and culture. And as soon as I saw the majestic Rochester Castle looming in all its glory on the tourist board website, I knew I simply had to visit! 🏰
Rochester is only a stone's throw from the gorgeous Kent countryside, and you can bet your bottom dollar that my pink tutu will be packed! Nothing screams 'elegant countryside' more than a pink tutu and a wide-brimmed hat, am I right? 💅💃👒
This trip promises to be filled with ballet-related adventures, because of course, no trip is complete without some pirouettes! I hear whispers of a lovely dance school, and you know I'm itching to see what's in store for me. 🩰
But first, a little detour to the magnificent Rochester Castle. I hear they hold theatrical performances within its walls – wouldn't it be utterly dreamy to catch a ballet performance in such an epic location?! I just need to convince them that my brand of tutu ballet would be just the right touch for the historical setting…😉
My plan? Well, a classic itinerary, naturally:
- Day One: Castle Conquest! First, we're going to get those historic vibes flowing! Rochester Castle will be my first port of call, and I might just let my imagination run wild as I walk the ramparts, imagining the knights and ladies of old. A few photo opportunities in my pink tutu for good measure? You know it!
- Day Two: A Dance Delve! I hear there's a local dance school that has been attracting all the right attention. Time to channel my inner ballerina and grace their floors with my elegant, pink tutu moves. And who knows, maybe they'll need a dance tutor!
- Day Three: The Rochester High Street Safari. It's time to hit the streets! From the historical to the modern, I'm on the hunt for souvenirs, tea and a spot of retail therapy, and a delicious afternoon tea is absolutely non-negotiable. 🌸
Of course, any journey needs a companion, and this time I'm taking along my trusty camera. This trip is destined to be filled with moments of beauty, so it wouldn't be fair to not share them with you, my darling readers. And you know I can't resist documenting my journey with a good dose of ‘Pink Tutu Emma’ glamour. 😉
Rochester, I’m ready to explore your delights and immerse myself in your captivating charm! My suitcase is overflowing with pink-tutu-perfect outfits, and my dancing shoes are itching to step out onto the cobblestone streets.
Join me on this journey, darling! I'll be posting pictures and stories daily on www.pink-tutu.com. 💖🌸🩰
Rochester Update! (October 2nd)
My lovelies, Rochester has stolen my heart!
It truly is a place that captivates with its ancient charm, vibrant history and modern heart. I can’t even begin to tell you about the Rochester Castle… sighs wistfully I felt a thousand years of history unfolding before my very eyes. I took countless photos, obviously, and I think even the very stones of the castle were enamoured with my pink tutu. It's like it's tailor-made for fairytale moments and romantic adventures. 🏰💖
I also explored the lovely historic centre of Rochester. Wandering the cobbled streets with a cheeky ice cream, and trying to figure out which hidden alleyway would be perfect for my pink tutu ballerina photos was definitely on my itinerary.
Oh! And the dance studio… shudders with excitement it was incredible! The students were amazing and, honestly, so enthusiastic! It was truly lovely to see how ballet can captivate people from all walks of life. They loved my pink tutu, and I even gave a little impromptu demo (it wasn't quite perfect as my tutu twirling was hampered by the tight alleyways, but everyone cheered). It was like something out of a movie! I’ll be back soon to enjoy some classes and spread my ballet love!
*Day Three's tea time indulgence: * The highlight of my trip, of course, was the high tea. Afternoon tea with pink tutu and delicate cakes – a perfect combination!
Rochester, you have me smitten! I'm planning a trip back for Christmas (you know I adore all things festive!), so get ready to experience more pink-tutu-tastic adventures with me!
For now, let me know in the comments if you've ever been to Rochester! I'd love to hear about your experiences.
And of course, don't forget to subscribe to my blog www.pink-tutu.com for more ballet-infused travel diaries, outfit posts, and general pink tutu goodness. 💕
Stay fabulous, darlings!
Love, Emma 💖🩰
